The Stories We Tell, The Voices and Faces Project's immersive, two-day testimonial writing workshop for survivors of gender-based violence and other human rights violations, is building out its 2025 schedule. During the workshop, a select cohort of emerging and established writers and activists come together to read and discuss culture-changing literature from across history and social justice movements, take part in a series of innovative, real-time writing exercises, and share their work in moderated, trauma-informed workshopping sessions. Led by novelist and Yale University creative writing instructor R. Clifton Spargo, an alum of the acclaimed Iowa Writers' Workshop, and facilitated by Voices and Faces Project founder Anne K. Ream, this award-winning writing program isn't just developing writers. It's changing lives.
If you're an NGO or individual interested in taking part in - or hosting - a Stories We Tell workshop, now is the time to reach out. We cannot wait to be in community with our 2025 writers!

Our stories are our power.
At The Voices and Faces Project we’re using them to create change. |
Our mission at The Voices and Faces Project (which will soon be rebranded and expanded as Center for Story & Witness) is to cultivate and share stories that bear witness to gender-based violence and other human rights injustices in order to challenge and change minds, hearts, and public policies. Through our narrative advocacy trainings, performances, publications, and testimonial writing workshops, we're supporting a new generation of witnesses, writers, artists, and activists to use their stories to create social change. We are a registered 501c3 organization and have been named one of America's Best Charities by the board of Independent Charities of America.
